Centros de internamiento de extranjeros. Principales denuncias y novedades legislativas
2014
Los centros de internamiento de extranjeros fueron creados en España hace casi treinta años con la primera Ley de Extranjería y han constituido desde entonces un controvertido mecanismo de control de la política migratoria objeto de críticas y denuncias por la constante vulneración de derechos de los extranjeros que se han constatado. En marzo de 2014 se aprobó un nuevo Reglamento de funcionamiento y régimen interior de estos centros que pretende clarificar su régimen jurídico. En este estudio realizaremos un repaso de las principales denuncias que existen contra ellos y analizaremos algunos de los aspectos de la nueva regulación que hemos considerado más relevantes.
Los resgos para el dereho en tiempos de pandemia: el ejemplo paradigmàtico de los puertos italianos declarados inseguros
2021
The coherence of the legal system becomes a particularly relevant and complex issue with regard to the conflicts that may arise between constitutional principles. From this perspective, the paper considers some immigration laws - and in particular the Ministerial Decree of 7 April 2020, which states that "for the entire duration of the national health emergency resulting from the spread of the COVID_19 virus, Italian ports do not ensure the necessary requirements for the classification and definition of Place of safety ("safe place") "- enacted by the Italian government in the most acute period of the health emergency connected to the spread of covid-19, by evaluating whether they, by affec…

2020

In particular, the Author analysis the hard balancing of contrasting values, which Court have to provide for, between public order and the rights to family unity (collective) and best interest of the child (individual). The cases commented are both from ECHR and Italian Corte di Cassazione.
The ideal restructuring of migrant families in the immigration law
2013
The legal configuration of kinship ties in immigration law is governed by a restrictive logic that combines a dependent and nuclear composition with mismatches in the concrete form of managing the distances, the dynamics and the times at origin and destination. The family model in immigration law has an ideal and dominant approach openly excluding other family realities in the social context. Law in an inherent tendency towards the ideal doesn’t allow a legitimate choice between autonomy and individual freedom in order to define or not the family project and own relationships. In this paper I discuss from a critical approach the inconsistencies presented by the current Spanish immigration l…
Yearly quotas and country-reserved shares in Italian immigration policy
2008
Regular immigration to Italy is based on a quota system setting annual ceilings to legal entries. Reserved shares are granted to single countries or categories of countries. Reserved shares have been increased; they are used as an incentive to obtain the cooperation of countries of origin in stemming irregular migration flows. The total quota of regular immigration has gradually increased too. Still, it does not fully respond to the growing demand of foreign workers on the labour market, and quotas seem to be used as crypto-regularisations rather than as an instrument for regulating legal entries.
The dark side of European immigration policy
2011
More than ten years after the Treaty of Amsterdam came into force and after the programmes of Tampere and Aia, the Stockholm Programme , adopted last December 2009 for the period 2010-2014, has settled for the third time the area of "justice, freedom and security" with which EU presents itself. In relation to the Immigration policy the Stockholm Programme seals the term of security. Now Europe considers its area as a territory that withdraws into itself, through a security logic that caused the disappearance of the traces of the "freedom area". In fact, as it was affirmed in Tampere, this area can't be considered as a mere prerogative of the European citizens. In the name of security, prote…
Family reunification: the case of the Muslim migrant children in Europe
2014
Adopting a child is not a legal concept recognized in Islamic law, which, while giving great importance to orphans and children’s rights, has introduced the legal institution of the Kafala. This institution can be defined as a commitment by the kafil to ensure maintenance, education and protection of a minor makfoul until his legal majority, in the same way as would a father to his son, but without creating any family relationship. For these reasons the Kafala cannot be compared to an international adoption, which, contrariwise, entails the creation of a parent-child relationship. On one side the Kafala is a legal concept recognized by International Law, in particular by the United Nations …
Così in mare come in terra: cosa resta del diritto d’asilo e dell’orizzonte dei diritti umani
2021
Dopo avere illustrato brevemente i principi che sostanziano il diritto d'asilo, e la loro centralità all'interno del sistema dei diritti umani, il saggio analizza le politiche migratorie contemporanee per come agiscono ai confini dell'Unione europea, in special modo nel Mare Mediterraneo, e, in Italia, dopo l'ingresso sul territorio dei e delle richiedenti asilo. Queste politiche si dimostrano incompatibili con il rispetto dei principi dell'asilo, ed anzi strutturalmente improntate alla loro violazione, mettendo a rischio la tutela e l'esercizio delle libertà e dei diritti non solo per le persone migranti.
Introduction. The Global Old-Age Care Industry. Tapping into Care Labor Across and Within National Borders
2021
A few weeks after the first COVID-19 infections were diagnosed in Germany, NGOs and experts in the field of old-age care warned of acute bottlenecks in the provision of care for older Germans. They feared that care workers from Eastern Europe who were travelling back to their home countries might not be able to return to Germany due to the closure of borders. As a result, up to 200,000 migrant care workers could be missing after Easter. The weekly German magazine Der Spiegel quoted one NGO’s spokesperson saying: “We already had a shortage of care workers, the crisis has been here for a long time.” Another NGO’s spokesperson was particularly concerned about older people in need of care who w…
